The European Union (EU) reaffirmed its commitment to one China policy and said it doesn't support Taiwan's proposed "referendum on UN membership", according to a Joint Statement of the 10th China-EU Summit issued on Monday.
The EU reiterated its concern over the intended referendum on UN membership in the name of Taiwan as this could lead to a unilateral change of the status quo across Taiwan Straits to which the EU is opposed, the statement said.
In this context, the EU expressed its concern over the Taipei authorities' intentions about the future status of the island, the statement said.
The EU also expressed its hope in the statement for a peaceful resolution of the Taiwan question through constructive dialogue.
Both sides agreed to further enhance political dialogue and consultation at all levels, and continue to maintain consultation and coordination on major international and regional issues to enhance political mutual trust and expand strategic common ground, according to the document.
